Putting absolute, in-situ U-Pb ages to early-Archaean deformation events in the Muccan Granitic Complex, East Pilbara Terrane

This project dated an Early Archaean partial convective overturn (tectonic) event in the East Pilbara Terrane, giving the first direct age for this event. Petrology, geochemistry and geochemistry techniques were combined in an exemplar case study of how to date deformation events in complex, poly-deformational rocks using the accessory mineral titanite
